Does sustainability/ESG policy have a place in manufacturing?

Smart manufacturing is a critical component of driving ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and sustainability success in manufacturing.

The 2022 State of Smart Manufacturing Report is the most robust edition yet and first to cover manufacturers’ connection with sustainability/ESG initiatives. While the 321 participants span the globe, the results reflect consistency in the rising prominence of sustainability/ESG in manufacturing.
